I might be the only one with a coding style that is actively hurt by
restricted declarations (out of how many developers who somewhat
actively write code? It's not like one would be an insignificant
minority), but I'm not the only one who thinks there is little reason to
insist on gcc-2.95 support. In the other direction, how many active
developers are there who would have real problems because of me using
free declarations? Is there even one? (I'm obviously not counting Rich
as an active developer.)

I'm the one that is actually developing MPlayer, while Rich is the one
trying to use his old svn account to force his views on people who
actually do the work. Actions like his do cause practical problems for
development. So please direct requests to avoid using svn as a
battlefield to him. If he does want to start a battle - which does seem
to have been his deliberate intent - that can be avoided by closing his
account without losing anything significant.
